I contacted you a few months ago and asked you some questions, commented on your youtube a few times.<\/p>\n<p>Im asking you for prayer. I wish I had the money to eat kosher, but Im constantly facing poverty and homelessness. I have been homeless a few times. I had a job for 2 years but recently tried to take a step up in life and fell down. Now I am wondering what to do, I might move into a homeless shelter in the city.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway Im asking you pray for me sir. I remember most Churches I have ever been too I was homeless going through a rough time and they just looked at me and didn\u2019t really care or even bother to put me in a warm bed for a night, and when I was dressed in rags they really didn\u2019t care. I slept out in the cold, under bridges, clothes torn and worn, attending their Church and they treated me like a leper. People wouldn\u2019t even approach me. I was a burden to them.<\/p>\n<p>I was not too impressed with these \u201cbrothers and sisters\u201d. I believe in Isaiah, thats where God talks about clothing the needy feeding the homeless. Hes all about helping people and the Apostle Paul said he was \u201ceager to remember the poor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However most \u201cChristians\u201d I meet are so far from him. I don\u2019t know of any Torah observant ministries around here to disciple me, and there aren\u2019t many jobs where I am out in the country. I don\u2019t have a car and Im on the verge of going homeless again.<\/p>\n<p>So I might move into the city and be homeless again. Maybe I will meet more Christlike and Apostle type Christians and maybe they will help me. Please pray for me I dislike sleeping outside on the ground. I will if I have to but its not my favorite thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>Just make a special prayer request for me ok? By the way, keep using those goofy glasses!<\/p>\n<p>Your distant friend,<\/p>\n<p>Brandon<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Please pray for Brandon\u2026',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2014\/10\/25\/please-pray-for-brandon\/',contentID: 'post-5576',suggestTags: '',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This email\u00a0was posted on this \u00a0blog today.
